My experience with all of our properties on what tenants will and won't pay for:Will: prime location; maximum square footage possible for the price range; an extra bathroom; good storage; no carpeting; accepting pets; fenced-in yard; central HVAC; main-floor W&D hookups.Won't: fancy appliances; upgraded counters; jacuzzi tubs; fancy outdoor spaces; throw-ins (lawn care, pest control, etc); fancy floors; fancy window treatments; Our tenants have consistently told us that they value the most space per dollar that they can get, in the best location, with basic amenities more than anything else.   

Plumbing could have broken pipes, sewage could be cracked, electrical box could be shot, pests would be a huge problem in my guess.

We replaced flooring, window treatments, painted the interior, made major upgrades to the termite infested exterior, and more.

In terms of what you need to do to get an STR up and running (self-managing of course), please see below:Purchase furnishings and suppliesSet everything up yourself or hire a local crewSource all your vendors (utilities, internet, pool care, lawn care, pest control, STR insurance, plumber, electrical, and the most important 3, photographer, handyman, and cleaning crew)Create your listings on Airbnb, VRBO, etc.Set up your PMS tool (Guesty or OwnerRez are two popular ones)Set up your pricing tool (Wheelhouse and Pricelabs are two popular ones)Ask friends and family to stay at your place for free in exchange for early feedback and 5-star ratingsGrow your bookings from there!

Pest control and solar panels can also be very lucrative door to door .

Speak with your pest control guy about this.
